A DISPATCH received here yesterday
by Mr.. Walter s. Maxwell says that
the site offered by Mr.. Kerckhof and
others, at the corner OF South Main
street ,and Ogier lane, vr Winston
street, has been selected for the new
Government building. The Post
office will, of course, be permanently
located there, if this information is
correct and the selection final. The
location is SO far removed from the
business center of the city that an
accommodation Postoffice will be
necessary somewhere within few
blocks of the Court House. We be-
lieve that property holders in the cen
ter OF the city have made mistake
which they will hereafter regret ir
not having made an effort, and ever
sacrifice, to have secured the i'm
portant structure nearer the business
heart OF the city.

The New Customs order.

A dispatch from Washington in
forms us that Treasurer Fairchild has
acceded to the application of the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Company for
an order permitting that company to
ship goods in bond to Port Moody
and by the Canadian Pacific railroad
to New York, Boston, Chicago and
other American cities. The dispatch
concludes in these words: "This
will give us a competing trans-conti-
mental route not subject to the Inter-
State law" We have no means OF
knowing the line of argument adopt
ed by the Secretary Of the Treasury
to reach the conclusion that he had
the authority to issue this order. II
we can read and understand the let
ter of the Interstate Commerce law,
this order nullifes it absolutely in
respect to traffic shipped from one
portion of the United States to an
other by continuous route partly by
land and partly by water. The 1st
section of the Act reads:
That the sprovisions of this act
shall apply to any common carrier or
carriers engaged in the transportation
Of passengers or property wholly by
railroad, or partly by railroad and
partly by water when both are used,
under common control, manage
ment or arrangement, for continu-
,us carriage or shipment, from one
State or Territory of the United
States, or the District Of Columbia,

THE COMING UNITY.

The unity of the church is coming on
line of cooperative Christian work.
Dogmatic controversies are postponed,
while the laborers swing the sickle in
the fields white to the harvest. Non
essential differences are ignored in the
presence of the great moral questions
that demand solution, and the vital re-
forms that require the united support
of all Christian people in this day
when the antagonistic forces of good
and evil are coming to the death grap-
pie. The necessity that they shall
stand together for the fundamental
and essential truths of Christianity
and the institutions that embody its
spirit is bringing them in contact with
one another in such a way that they
must henceforth and forever enjoy a
fuller fellowship. In doing common
work they forget to dispute about
trifies. On their way to the goal of a
common destiny they keep step in the
line of march; and when that goal is
reached in one song they will celebrate
the triumph of their King aShvilIe
Christian Advocate.

A GREAT MANS IMPRESSIONS

Darwin did not share in the feeling
that the talk Of Macaulay was tiresome.
For him the historian could not talk
too much. The chief reason for this,
he says in the autobiography, was that
Macaulay would allow others to turn
the stream of the conversation. But
he thought Buckle and Carlyle talked
too exclusively. On one occasion he
listened to Buckle, saying hardly a
word; it was simply impossible to say
a word, ''for he left no gaps" at last,
when lady began to sing, Darwin
jumped up, saying he must listen to
her. Buckle then turned round to
friend and coolly remarked that Oar
wins books "were much better than
his conversation" Darwin regarded
this incident with evident amusement.
OF Carlyle he writes: 81 remember a
funny dinner at my brothers. erasmus
Darwin), where among a few others
were Babbage and Lyell, both of whom
liked to talk. Carlyle, however, silenced
every one by haranguing during the
whole dinner on the advantages of
silence. After dinner Babbage, in the
grimmest manner, thanked Carlyle for
his very interesting lecture on silence.
Carlyle sneered at almost every one.
One day in my house he called Grote's
History "a fetid quagmire, with moth
ing spiritual in it, l always thought
until his "reminiscences appeared,
that his sneers were partly jokes, but
this now seems rather doubtful. His
expression was that of depressed, al
most respondent, yet benevolent man;
and it is notorious how heartily he
laughed. 1 believe that his benevo-
lence was real, though stained by not a
little jealousy. No one can doubt
about his extraordinary power of draw
ing pictures of things and men, far
more vivid, as it appears to me, than
any drawn by Macaulay. Whether his
pictures Of men were true ones is an
other question. He has been all-pow-
erful in impressing some grand moral
truths on the minds of men. On the
other hand, his views about slavery
were revolving. In his eyes might
was right. His mind seemed to me to
be very narrow one, even if all
branches of science, which he despised,
are excluded. 1t is astonishing to me
that Kingsley should have spoken of
him as man well fitted to advance
science. He laughed to scorn the idea
that mathematician such as WhewelI
could judge, as maintained he could,
of Goethe's views on light. He thought
it most ridiculous thing that any one
should care whether glacier moved a
